Presently working with other grassroots organizations to support efforts to protect the pristine environment and natural beauty of this area. We are working to preserve open space and maintain water quality, to preserve the views and natural resources of the Appalachian Trail and the Delaware Water Gap by opposing efforts to replace existing 80' tall power lines with 195' monster towers, and to upgrade the Delaware Water Gap National Recreational Area into a National Park and Preserve.
